E. coli Endonuclease III

E. coli Endonuclease III
 
Endonuclease III releases damaged bases induced by UV, ionizing radiation, osmium tetroxide, or acid. It is a DNA glycosylase with an associated AP lyase activity and contains an iron-sulfur group which helps to maintain its three dimensional conformation. Endonuclease III cleaves as a DNA lyase at abasic sites by b-elimination. This results from a b elimination reaction, producing a single nucleotide gap in the DNA. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 23.4 kDa and is suitable for use in FLARE.
 
Unit Definition: The amount of enzyme required to cleave 1 pmole of a 32P-labeled oligonucleotide probe containing an AP site within an oligonucleotide duplex in one hour at 37°C.
       
Source: Purified from E. coli containing a recombinant plasmid harboring the E. coli nth gene.
   
Assay Conditions: 1X REC Buffer 4 (10 mM HEPES-KOH (pH 7.4), 100 mM KCl, and 10 mM EDTA), 4 pmoles of AP site oligonucleotide (Cat # 3851-100-01) labeled with 32P, 4 pmoles of Oligo Complement B (Cat # 3849-100-02), and serial dilutions of enzyme in a 20 µl reaction volume are incubated for 1 hour at 37°C. For analysis, 5 µl of REC 5X Loading Buffer (10 mM HEPES-KOH (pH 7.4)), 10 mM EDTA, 6 M urea, 50% glycerol, and 0.2% bromophenol blue) are added, and the tubes are heated at 95°C for 5 min then fast-cooled to 4°C. Cleavage products are resolved by 20% denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
   
Applications:
•   CometAssay/FLARE
•   Supercoiled DNA relaxation assay
•   Alkaline elution assay
   
Storage: Freeze in working aliquots at -20°C in a manual defrost freezer to avoid repeated freeze-thawing. The enzyme is stored in 10 mM HEPES-KOH (pH 7.4), 100 mM KCl, 0.1 mg/ml BSA, and 50% glycerol.
   
Substrate Specificity: Endonuclease III catalyzes the excision of the following forms of DNA damage:

Human 8-oxo-Guanine DNA Glycosylase (hOGG1)

Human 8-oxo-Guanine DNA Glycosylase (hOGG1)
 
Spontaneous oxidation of guanine residues in DNA generates 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). By mispairing with adenine during replication, 8-oxoG gives rise to G/C to T/A transversions, a frequent somatic mutation in human cancers. The enzyme, human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (hOGG1), recognizes 8-oxoG/C, FaPy/C, and to a lesser extent, 8-oxoG/T base pairs, catalyzing the removal of the 8-oxoG and cleavage of the DNA phosphodiester bond through Schiff base chemistry. Mutations in the hOGG1 gene have been reported in a small but significant number of transformed cells and tumors. One mutation, R154H, converts hOGG1 to a promutator by broadening the specificity of the enzyme for the base opposite 8-oxoG.
 
Source: Purified from E. coli containing a recombinant plasmid harboring the hOGG1 gene.
   
Unit Definition: One unit of hOGG1 catalyzes the cleavage of 1 pmole of a
32P-oligonucleotide probe in 1 hour at 37°C at an 8-oxoG/C base pair within an oligonucleotide duplex.
   
Assay Conditions: 4 pmoles of 32P-8-oxoG oligonucleotide probe, 4 pmoles of complementary oligonucleotide, 1X REC Buffer 6 (20 mM Tris-Cl (pH 8.0), 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1 mg/ml BSA) for 1 hour at 37°C in a reaction volume of 20 µl. Cleavage products are resolved by 20% denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and detected by autoradiography.
   
Applications:
•   Detection of oxidative DNA damage
•   hOGG1 FLARE Assay
   
Storage: Store in working aliquots at -20°C in a manual defrost freezer to avoid repeated freeze-thaws. The enzyme is supplied in 20 mM Tris-Cl (pH7.8), 1 mM EDTA, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 50% glycerol.

E. coli Fpg Protein

E. coli Fpg Protein
 
Fpg releases damaged bases preferentially from duplex DNA. It has an associated class I AP lyase activity, leaving both 3’ and 5’ phosphoryl groups. This results from a β, δ elimination reaction at the AP sites, producing a single nucleotide gap in the DNA. The enzyme consists of 269 amino acids with a molecular weight of 30.2 kDa.
 
Source: E. coli Fpg is purified from E. coli containing a recombinant plasmid harboring the E. coli Fpg+ gene.
